Administration and recovery

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

Excellent news. I might still be in with a chance yet if we are awaiting an official announcement.

Well given the article starts "Asked what life has been like for Bolton Wanderer's players..." you'd rather expect it to be about the players. I do wonder how some of our supporters would manage without payment for 5 months. Reality is if both players and other staff are both on nothing, they're both on the same wage so it's a moot point, other than players likely to have more significant bills hitting.

I'm not embarrassed to be a Bolton fan, I'm embarrassed that we nicked Forest Green Rovers leading striker and didn't pay them.

Interesting that in the last para, Anderson is keeping schtum but said he'd be happy to talk once the deal was completed - will be interesting to read his defence of his tenure here.

No defence from Anderson - he walked in with a quid and has walked out with millions

I do feel very sorry for the players. I don't think many understand what an impact that had on the whole place last season. It destroys spirit and saps everything out.

I still think ultimately refusing the play the Brentford game was a poor move in hindsight - its left us with further problems as a result and ultimately had no impact whatsoever on Ken Anderson. It was never changing the situation and in the end leaves the club post Anderson in a worse position. Withdrawal of labour can be very effective, that was one time where it has almost had the opposite effect intended.

The Twitter comments bit is full of "I'm not embarrassed, I'm proud to be a Wanderer, he can f*ck off".

Will be interesting to see how that one plays out - he'll undoubtedly say he put in more than he's walked away with. In that regard Admins say "books say you're owed £1.5m" - Anderson say "I'm owed £7.5m"...He doesn't come across as being the one to lose out.

I actually thought it wasn't a great thing to say. If he'd said "I feel desperately sorry for Bolton fans who all are hurting massively" then fine. But it was always a bit of a provocative thing to say. We might have been embarrassed by Ken and the situation - but not by the football club itself.

As it currently stands, I'm not sure not playing Brentford has left us with any additional problems. It may result in further points deduction but it hasn't yet. So I'm not convinced it's as yet had any negative impact.

It's possible he was misquoted?

Whatever, he was a good professional for us and he wouldn't have been much of a union rep if he didn't push for positive action after several months without pay. As Insane says, with hindsight it might not have been the best move but I don't blame him or them for finally saying 'enough is enough'.

Good luck to the lad. We move on

They were the representatives and guiding minds of the football club. The football club didn't pay people, it couldn't get a side out for a league game for the first time in history. The chairman had a spat with an eco-entrepreneur that took place in the national news. It was and is fecking embarrassing. It's a shambles. Anytime someone asks who you support you get that look.

Anybody reading that as him saying the fact of being a Bolton fan is embarrassing (as opposed to being embarrassed by the conduct of those representing the club) is saying more about themselves than about Taylor.

Totally agree. Half the stupid bastards slating him probably don't have the attention span to read the whole article. Easier just to leap on the out if context shit stirring quote from Lion of Vienna and spew their bile.

Can't be responsible for what folk think, that's up to them, and some "folk" are responsible for what happened at B.W.F.C. The club in name will ever be the same club I've supported all my life.
I'm ashamed of greed in owners, agents and players who've made the game what it is today. The Bolton flag can't be responsible for those underneath it. They know who they are.

After that little diversion, time has moved on to 10:24...You might have thought if there was just "signing" and stuff to complete last night that someone might have mentioned something by now...
